October General Meeting:
Zwift Indoor Cycling Training
21 October 2024 6:00 PM
St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 316 E. 24th Ave, Spokane, WA
NOOOOOO, it’s too early to think about Winter. Yep, you’re right! We still have lots of great cycling days ahead. BUT!!! It’s not too early to think about what to do to stay in shape over those cold months. Well, here’s your answer. ZWIFT!!! Zwift is an indoor cycling game. The picture above on the right is my Zwift set-up. A PC, a smart trainer, my bike, and a BIG fan. The picture on the left is what you see when you are on a ride, that’s me in the middle and a couple other SBC Club members around me. We were doing a group ride in France. I’ve used Zwift since 2019 and it’s kept me in cycling shape when I haven’t been able to get out on the real road.
When our SBC rides stop for the winter, we will start regular Zwift group rides. We will do 4+ rides a week. Our rides are in a group format where as long as you pedal, you will stay with the group. We also use the Discord app so we can talk to each other in real time to help those that need technical assistance, help with passing the time on the bike, or just socializing.
On Zwift you can also do a solo ride at your own pace with people from all over the world, and with over 130 different routes, it’s difficult to get bored. Zwift is also a great way to compliment rides during the season or a great way to get “a quick ride” in. Honestly Zwift is an excellent training tool. Where else can you ride a bike with thousands of people from all over the world at the same time.
Our October general meeting will be a Zwift training meeting. This is a great time to learn about Zwift. We will have a live demonstration and you can even try it yourself. We will explain the set-up involved, equipment you need, how to join our rides, how you can use Zwift to help you achieve many other cycling goals, the costs, and support that you might need.
So, join us!!! This meeting will give you time to get your equipment and get set-up just in time to get a full Winter of comfortable cycling in.
